We came, we saw, we conquered!

WE CAME, (via 8 hour car ride)WE SAW (our newest cousin),

WE CONQUERED (3 malls, 2 parks, and a swimming pool) We are in Georgia for the weekend. We got here Thursday night in 8 hours flat with minimal mischief from the monkeys. Friday we spent the morning at the mall, and spent the evening swimming. It is quite a bit cooler here and we are loving the break from the FL heat, and though swimming was still fun, it was cold! On Saturday we went to a new park in Old Norcross.
It was fun and we even got to witness a surprise proposal on one end of the park and a wedding on the other.
In the evening Mike and Sher came over and we met our newest little cousin Waverly Hall Markos. She is 6 weeks old and absolutely precious! We love her Mike and Sher.
Mer loved holding her of course.We brought her a little blanket and a sweet pillow that Mer made (thought we had a pic).
The kids played with silly uncle Mike.
We saw them all again on Sunday night. At the end of the evening Mike was a little worn out, being a Dad is hard work.
Today, Mer, Grandma and I spent the morning at the mall checking out the American Girl store where Mer got to do a craft and figure out who her favorite American Girl is. (Josefina)

Here she is posing with her favorite fairy shirt at the Disney store (I love that she still loves the fairies).
All in all it was a great weekend, and we are headed home in the morning. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for such a fun time.

I don't know if I'm more jealous of you all getting to see Waverly or conquering 3 malls. I love GA shopping!!

Looks like you all had a fun time!!
